@YoungSunEcho No Emanuele Giaccherini in the squad today. Not sure why. Were no injury problems yesterday when Dick did his press conference #safc This i dont ****ing get!!!! Alright like us all i haven't seen much of the lad but what i have seen has been great. He is a Italien international FFS
Pantilimon, Jones, Kaboul, Coates, van Aanholt, Cattermole (c) Larsson, M’Vila, Defoe, Lens, Fletcher.
Looking at the Norwich team the has the potential to be the scrapiest game of football played since the Xmas ceasefire
Disappointing that Giaccherini isn't in the squad but Watmore's on the bench and might get a chance and I'm looking forward to seeing what M'Vila is like.
Sunderland: Costel Pantilimon, Billy Jones, Younes Kaboul, Seb Coates, van Aanholt, Cattermole, Larsson, M’Vila, Defoe, Lens, Fletcher. Subs: Mannone, Bridcutt, Rodwell, Matthews, O’Shea, Graham, Watmore. Quite happy with that tbh, I would have went with oshea tbh but **** it haway the lads.
Making place for Watmore who is a more direct replacement for AJ ? Though he could have left Bridcutt behind instead.
not quite sure we needed bridcutt and rodwell. I dhave left one if not both behind and brought Giachirini
Coulda been worse mate. You could've got an NHS non-English speaking European locum doctor at your bedside in an English hotel. That's a bugger mate! Get well soon!
no complaints from me. a much tougher and positive midfield should also be more helpful to the defence. i just hope Catts is fitter than he appeared last week.
He was man of the match for us just about every game he played when he first signed. He's already shown his quality which seems to get overlooked time and again.
